> Tsunami: e i bambini dell'Iraq?
> (Jack Dalton, Peacelink)
>
> ...È bello vedere la gente del mondo impegnarsi a fare quello di cui sono

in grado per soccorrere le vittime dello Tsunami. Ma la mia domanda è
semplicemente questa, dov'è invece la preoccupazione del mondo per le decine
di migliaia di bambini Iracheni che sono stati decimati in maniera così
totale dall'invasione degli Stati Uniti e dalla seguente occupazione
dell'Iraq? Durante i 12 anni di sanzioni economiche che gli Stati Uniti
imposero all'Iraq prima dell'invasione, morirono più di 500.000 bambini --
come risultato diretto di quelli sanzioni. Dove erano allora la cura e la
preoccupazione del mondo? Dove erano finiti allora i cosiddetti
"conservatori compassionevoli" degli Stati Uniti? Oops! L'avevo dimenticato
per un istante, sono gli stessi che sostengono la guerra in Iraq...

durante gli anni Novanta ed intensificatosi durante la "liberazione"
anglo-americana. Lo scorso settembre l'Unicef ha riportato che i casi di
malnutrizione fra i bambini iracheni sono raddoppiati durante l'occupazione.
La mortalità infantile è ora al livello del Burundi e più alta che ad Haiti
ed in Uganda. La povertà cresce e c'è una costante mancanza di medicine. I
casi di cancro stanno rapidamente aumentando, specialmente i tumori al seno,

> ... The U.S. has lost the war in terms of military strategy and in terms

of their propaganda efforts both within and without Iraq. Most people of the
world agree that it was wrong for the U.S. to commit the atrocious,
unprovoked attack on the Iraqi people (...) Where does all this leave us?
As editors of Axis of Logic who report daily on the war on Iraq, let there
be no confusion: <b>We stand - openly - and "shoulder-to-shoulder" with the
Iraqi resistance</b> who are doing no less than we would do if we in the
U.S. were invaded by a foreign nation. Our position is based on principle:
The right to for any nation to defend their national boundries and
sovereignty against invasion and occupation - on the principles of the right
to independence and the right to national self-determination.

> JANUARY 20th -- WORLDWIDE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST OCCUPATION AND WAR IN

IRAQ, ON THE DAY OF BUSH'S INAUGURATION
> (International Action Center)
>
> The world-wide antiwar movement has called for massive demonstrations

against the war on the weekend on March 19-20, 2005-- the second anniversary
of the invasion of Iraq. We have a responsibility to respond with renewed
determination and commitment in the face of the Bush Administration's
launching of a new phase of the war against the Iraqi people (...) In just a
few weeks, there will an opportunity to mobilize large numbers of people
for a visible show of opposition to the war and to the other anti-people
policies of the Bush administration. On Thursday, January 20, 2005, Bush's
inauguration will be the date of demonstrations around the world...

> Iraq elections loom as debacle for US occupation
> (James Cogan, WSWS)
>
> The elections in occupied Iraq, scheduled to take place on January 30, are

looming as a political debacle for the Bush administration. (...)
Washington's ambition is to produce a puppet government with enough domestic
and international legitimacy to be able to sign off on the real aims of the
March 2003 invasion of Iraq. These include the establishment of long-term
military bases in the Iraq, from which the US can exert strategic hegemony
over the Middle East, and the sale to American corporate interests of Iraq's
state-owned oil industry-which controls the world's second-largest oil
reserves.

it should be terminated," he warned at the same meeting addressed by Mr

evangelicals supporting Republicans have completely changed. There were
bishops who refused to give communion to Kerry. At the same time, a growing
number of Catholics made common cause with the evangelicals, in support of
Bush, who calls himself a "messenger" of God, who is doing "the Lord's will
(...) "The doctrine of the exportation of democracy is typically
evangelical. And Bush is evangelical when he says, 'I believe freedom is the
Almighty God's gift to each man and woman in this world.'" This, however,
does not end the story. Exporting democracy is no more an evangelical
project alone (...) The way Pope met Allawi in private on November 04, 2004

> Britain is expected to send up to 650 extra troops to Iraq to boost

security ahead of the 30 January elections. The Sunday Telegraph newspaper
said the troops would be based in British-controlled areas in southern Iraq
but could also be moved to more dangerous areas nearer Baghdad if Prime
Minister Tony Blair gives his approval. The fresh deployment would increase
the number of British troops in the country to over 9,000...

possibly innocent lives". The bomb destroyed a villa in the village of

created by bales of concertina wire. At the end of the line, a U.S. soldier
sat at a table with an interpreter and asked people for name and marital
status, then took all 10 fingerprints. They also were told to look into a
box, which scanned their retinas. "It is just like POW camps that we've seen

of Iraqi security forces in the run-up to this month's election, and Bush
administration officials and specialists now acknowledge it could take years
to prepare viable police and military units unless the current training
program improves dramatically. In some of the most violent areas of the
country, Iraqi forces have been ''rendered ineffective," the State
Department wrote in the report dated Jan. 5. Due to intimidation and attacks
by insurgents, ''large numbers" of police, highway patrol, and border
enforcement personnel ''have quit or abandoned their stations," it said...

an option that dates back to a still-secret strategy in the Reagan
administration's battle against the leftist guerrilla insurgency in El
Salvador in the early 1980s. Then, faced with a losing war against
Salvadoran rebels, the U.S. government funded or supported "nationalist"
forces that allegedly included so-called death squads directed to hunt down
and kill rebel leaders and sympathizers. Eventually the insurgency was
quelled, and many U.S. conservatives consider the policy to have been a
success-despite the deaths of innocent civilians and the subsequent
Iran-Contra arms-for-hostages scandal...
